Chapter 71 Warm Welcome
Isabella had no clue what had just happened, so she came towards the man’s desk.
“Take a seat right here!”, The man said as he ushered Isabella to the seat directly in front of him.
“I'm Mr Gustavo!”, the man said as he scanned Isabella, his eyes stopping at her exposed cleavage.
“I'm Maria sir. Maria Bertinelli!”, Isabella replied.
“Alright then! Do you have any experience with waiting customers?!”, Mr Gustavo asked, his eyes looking towards Isabella's cleavage for the third time.
“Not exactly sir!
But I've worked as a housekeeper before sir!”Isabella replied honestly, remembering her experience attending to Luciano.
“That's equally fine then!”, Mr Gustavo said, starting to full on look at Isabella's breasts.
Feeling his gaze, Isabella used her jacket to cover her cleavage.
She was starting to feel uncomfortable.
“Are you from around here?!”, Mr Gustavo asked.
“No sir! I'm new here!”, Isabella answered.
“Ohh okay! You can get used to working in the restaurant then!”, Mr Gustavo said as he continued to look at Isabella weirdly.
“Are you visiting?!”, Mr Gustavo asked again as he brought out a form from his drawer.
“No sir!”, Isabella answered curtly as she didn't want to give out too much information.
“Take this, fill this for me and we'll have you working here in no time!”, Mr Gustavo said as he passed the form to Isabella.
He watched as she leaned forward, her breasts now very obvious as she began to fill the form.
Originally, at Il Posto Felice, new employees were put on a probationary period pending the time their performance was assessed.
However, for very selfish reasons, Mr Gustavo decided he wanted to keep Isabella in the restaurant.
How beautiful, he thought as he personally stood up to lock the door himself.
His very rounded stomach became apparent.
“You're such a beautiful lady!”, Mr Gustavo said as he came back and sat on the chair very close to Isabella.
Definitely not being a baby, Isabella had seen how intensely he had been staring towards her cleavage.
She got even more uncomfortable as she saw him stand up and lock the door.
Still, she pretended like she didn't know what he was talking about as she continued filling the form.
She at least needed a job, but she didn't know if she was going to go forward with working in the restaurant.
“Thank you!”, Isabella acknowledged as she went back to answering the last of the questions.
“How about I show you around sometime!?”, Mr Gustavo suggested as he traced his crusty fingers on Isabella's arm.
“Uhmm no
Thank you sir! But I can find my way!”, Isabella said as she shifted the chair she was seated on.
“Are you moving away from me?!”, Mr Gustavo asked, seeing such a very obvious action.
“Moving away?!”, Isabella asked back, she continued.
“How could I do such a thing?!”, She asked again, as she watched Mr Gustavo also shift the chair he was sitting on towards her.
“Then, what do you think of your job!?!”, Mr Gustavo asked as he circled his hand around her neck.
Unprepared for such an action, Isabella quickly stood up, stretching out the completed form towards him.
Such a psycho!, Isabella thought as she realized the man was perverted.
“I'm done with my form sir!”, Isabella said as she watched Mr Gustavo remove his glasses.
“You can sit down and do that! No need to stand!”, Mr Gustavo said, touching where Isabella formerly sat.
“So warm!! I don't mind if you sit down on my hand!”, Mr Gustavo said, his perverted smirk revealing some of his stained seats.
That was enough for Isabella to lose interest in whatever vacancy the restaurant was looking for.
“Uhmm no! Thank you sir! But I'll be leaving now!”, Isabella said as she grabbed the form and ran towards the door.
She had been quite fast as she had thought of her action beforehand.
Mr Gustavo had made such a big mistake by leaving the key behind the door.
He stood up, running towards her in an attempt to catch her, but he wasn't fast enough.
The image looked more like a pregnant man trying to sprint.
Yeah, not so pretty.
He rested on the closed door panting.
He certainly hadn't expected Isabella to run.
“Seems like she doesn't need the job!”, Mr Gustavo said.
Isabella hastened her steps, ignoring the calls from the waiters who had directed her earlier.
She walked towards the hotel, tearing the form on her way.
Antonio might have lied to me!
Isabella thought as she recalled the assault from earlier with the drunk man’s partner.
So much for being peaceful!
She thought as she walked towards the hotel.
She wondered what would have happened if she hadn't left by the time she did.
Shaking her head, Isabella dispelled the thoughts of going back to the same restaurant to look for a job.
“I'll just go back to the hotel for the day! Now, I'll put that TV to good use!”, Isabella said as she headed back to the hotel.
The mansion remained tense and quiet following Isabella's disappearance as a result of Luciano's mood.
The smallest thing was starting to annoy him.
Thus, he poured out his unresolved aggression on his staff.
Following said events in the mansion, Mia didn't stop giving her anonymous caller updates as they worked towards Luciano's ultimate destruction.
“... this might be the perfect weapon in ending him!”, the anonymous caller said as Mia told him about the recent happenings in the mansion.
